344 – Under and Away
Looks like it’s curtains for Becky! Or… is it? We’ll have to wait a bit to find out, cuz I want to go on a slight detour before we see the fates of our heroes. Just a little hint, some of you may remember that Guttersnipe USED to be about a street urchin and a rat. I think it’s been too long since we last looked in on them.
Belladonna is now officially a mobile plant creature, if her lack of eyes and leafy shoulder fronds didn’t make that clear. She’s a gametophyte generation version of her…kind; those little thingies always attached to her would be the parasite sporophyte versions, I suppose. It doesn’t make too much sense, but that’s okay: bogeymonster biology is pretty confused and nonsensical. They’re spawned in kids’ nightmares and fester in dark corners like mushrooms, but otherwise they generally all have very little in common since their appearance depends a lot on the fears of the kids they scare. That might be why Bogmoggy isn’t yet very terrifying, since her primary contact with kids has been through Nate who isn’t scared of her. But don’t worry, she’ll get more grotesque as she ages and learns to kill kids on her own.
Well, there you go, a lot of pointless navel-gazing about the bleak nightmare world these cuties all inhabit. THANKS FOR READING!!!

She's got some of that too, since bogeymonster biology doesn't line up entirely with any actual earth lifeform. She's plantlike BUT not actually a plant, since a plant wouldn't be able to survive in a light-less world. She's probably closer to a sentient brown algae like a kelp.
Whenever you go off on a how it works tangent like that, it's easy to imagine the nephew of a professor, or the college student in a Lovecraft story trying to categorize the species of the nameless horror that he's looking at by reverse-engineering the taxiderm of the phylum, or something like that. (or reasoning the taxonimic rank of observable phylogenetic traits.)
I thought Boggy was destined to be a succubus, also due to Nate's interference.
So Aunt Belladonna has the kid she was promised. Becky is due to be eaten by monsters. Red and Nate ran away like cowards. And no-body cares that Bog's been left on the floor like a novelty rubber butt after the novelty's worn off. Yup, everything's normal!
